Why Volleyball?

• Volleyball had its humble beginning at Holyoke, Massachusetts when William G. Morgan, a physical education director at the YMCA invented the game in 1895. He originally called it Mintonette.
• A YMCA professor called attention to the action, or the act phase, of the ball's flight, and proposed that the name "Mintonette" be replaced by "Volley Ball.“
• By 1913 the development of volleyball on the Asian continent was assured as, in that year, the game was included in the program of the first Far-Eastern Games, organized in Manila. It was also in Manila, when the volleyball “spike” started (FIVB).
